TripAdvisor.com released their “Top 10 Water Parks in the U.S.” list, with the Santa Claus, Indiana, park in the number-one spot.

In a news release, TripAdvisor.com lauded Holiday World & Splashin’ Safari for “aquatic delights” such as Wildebeest water coaster as well as the park’s free soft drinks and sunscreen. The release included a quote from a traveler’s review posted on TripAdvisor: “This was the most clean and organized park we have ever been to.”

“This is huge,” says Holiday World & Splashin’ Safari president Dan Koch. “Our country has so many excellent water parks; it’s humbling to be declared the best.”
